Germinal stem cell programming in the male

Germinal stem cell programming in the male

Our scientific objective is to understand the action and interplay of the reproductive hormones (gonadotropins and sexual steroids) which trigger spermatogenesis, and to decipher which actors influence the germinal stem cell fates during the puberty transition

Three major topics:

  • Role of the gonadotropins and sex steroids
  • Characterization of the spermatogenetic germinal stem cells
  • Endocrine factors and epigenetic actors involved in the germinal stem cell fate.
